Today was a great day at work. I’ve only got 5 days left, so it will be sad to leave, but I think I’ve earned some time to relax and be lazy! After work, I went to Klahanie Fitness to lift weights. I felt out-of-sync for the first part because my muscles were still tired…

Beautiful Day
The natural air conditioner (aka Pacific Ocean) kicked into gear today moderating our temperatures from 90 degrees yesterday to a comfortable 80 degrees today. A refreshing breeze has been blowing all day precluding sweating and hopefully making for a good night of sleep. Tomorrow the temps are supposed to drop another 5 to 10 degrees,…
Soaring Eagle Park
Today I went on a 65 minute trail run in Soaring Eagle Park. I have not run these trails in two years, but I used to run here frequently in high school. Back in the day, all the trails were very primitive and my running friends and I explored and developed the area. The large…
Rainy Saturday
See my post about Mount Olympus below. Most of it was written today. It was another soaker in Western Washington. A trademark Seattle mist storm occurred in the morning and this afternoon it was just plain raining. There was a break in the middle of the day, but it still rained a lot and is…
Klahanie
Klahanie is my gym for the summer. All year long you have been hearing about Arrillaga this and Arrillaga that, but unfortunately, Arrillaga is at Stanford and I am in Sammamish for the summer. As much as I love Arrillaga with all my heart, I must learn to live without its new equipment and stellar…
Back in Sammamish
A smooth flight yesterday brought my mom and me home about 20 minutes earlier than expected. To symbolize my return home, I have posted a picture of a pink Rhododendron, the Washington State flower. We have many Rhodies at my house in Sammamish and I took this macro of one flower cluster this morning. My…
Cinco de Mayo!
Cinco is always a festive today, this year was no different. The law school really goes all out for this party. The annual Cinco de Mayo bash features catered Mexican food, plenty of drink, Aztec dancers, traditional Mexican dance, pinata, and an after party with more traditional club music and more drinking. The food was…
Crystal Mountain Skiing
For those of you who haven’t heard of Crystal Mountain, it is located in the Cascade Range of Washington State right next to Mount Rainier (a colossal 14,410 foot volcano with 28 sprawling glaciers). The resort was recently ranked 7th in the nation by Skiing magazine. The lift system is great with two high speed…
10 Great Ab exercises
Some people have great abs with little or no work. I know I don’t have the genetics to get a ripped 6-pack by watching TV. For me, it takes lots of work and dedication. I am happy with where my abs are going, but I am eager to tighten up the pack up even more!…
